A Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) station powered by natural gas. Little Barford has two gas turbines, each similar in principle to a jet engine and each powering a generator; two heat recovery steam generators; and one steam turbine linked to another generator. The station runs twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Built on the site of an earlier coal-fired power station. The old power station had two turbines, one wartime and one from the 1950s.
